Wow, Luke made that look easy. Nice pin
I was talking on the phone with my dad as the match started. I was 40 seconds behind him. I was using the app and he was on the website.

I've indicated in recent Match Threads that my availability and schedule was a bit of a mess due to the pending birth of a grandchild. I've spent the past week out-of-town, watching my granddaughter, while her parents were in the hospital dealing with the mom's labor. On Wednesday, due to things not moving past a certain point, the doctors highly recommended a C-section. So on Wednesday, my wife and I became the proud grandparents of our 1st grandson! Mom, dad, and new grandson are coming home tomorrow afternoon, and we'll be departing about that time to return home. Nothing about this past week has gone to schedule, so I'm setting this thread up the night before, to make sure that it gets posted before Friday night's dual.
Please use the thread for all pre-match, in-match, and post-match discussion for the 2026 PSU - Indiana dual.
When:
January 23, 7:00 pm EST
Where:
Rec Hall, State College, PA
TV:
there is no TV for this match
Video Streaming:
Subscribers of the BTN+ can watch a stream of the TV coverage on their computer, or on their phone via the Fox Sports App
Audio Streaming:
The radio PBP, with Jeff Byers at the mic, will be streamed for free. The pre-match portion of the broadcast will begin at 6:40 pm EST, with the actual dual taking place at 7:00 pm EST. You can access the audio stream at:
Lion Vision

Once there, scroll down, find Wrestling: Indiana, and press the arrow in the button to the left of that text.
PBP:
I'm pretty sure I'll be out for PBP, due to the uncertainty of my schedule. I didn't check with @SlipperyPete or @GregPickel in advance, but I hope one or both of them will be available for PBP. That said, we always encourage others to participate, and post thoughts about things that happen in the dual. And as always, a reminder that if you are doing PBP, please post the score of the match, as well as the team score of the dual, at the end of each match.

How did Porter get the 5th point?
Thanks beerie. I think I missed that the full nelson was a penalty point so was off by 1

They're going to have over 50+ takedowns unless they start pinning. A stellar January for some.
I really would not like wrestling Van Ness. He is becoming a punisher.
Especially with it being against Indiana's highest ranked wrestler.

Mitchell has developed quite the nasty streak in his wrestling.
He's like a mad scientist figuring out his next pinning combination.
